Lighting Control Group issue

Hello all,

Using the Honeybee_Read Annual Result I with multiple lighting Control Group inputs Honeybee calculate only the first, the second and third return zero, but Daysim can calculate up to 10 lighting zones. Is there a specific procedure to follow to have all the Lighting groups calculated at the same time? If I Graft the lightingControlGroups_ input in the Honeybee_Read Annual Result I component then the Daysim report don't even show the second and third line for control groups, but just the first.
Thank you!

Francesco

Sounds like a great idea. Can you add this to github?

Hello,

thanks to Mostapha and Chris the lightingControlGroups componenent has been fixed so now it is possible to input multiple Daysim lighting groups and additionally has been added a component to read the electric light energy consumption from the Daysim report directly into Grasshopper (Honeybee_Daysim Electrical Lighting Use). Good job!!

Dear Francesco and Mostapha,

Followed by your old post, I have a question regarding the work mechanism of the lighting control in HB/Daysim.

To make it short:

Which specific sensor point (out of many) in your "lightingControlGroup" should fulfill the requirement of "lightingSetpoint" (300lux)?

in other words:

Does it mean that the average illuminance calculated from all the "sensorPoints" in your "lightingControlGroup" should fulfill the "lightingSetpoint" requirement?

(if this is the case, but the lighting schedule obtained from DSElectricalLightingUse is different from the lighting schedule obtained by post-processing/checking all the hourly illuminance results at all the sensorPoints)

Thank you in advance for your kind help!

Best,

Ding

Hereby, I attach the file (edit from Mostapha's version)

One more question:

What's the difference, if I hook up lightingControlGroups_ or not? (Because the results are different as well, as shown in the RED arrowhead)
